Illinois State defeated by Drake moves to 0-5 in MVC

Illinois State led Drake at the half but couldn't hold on as they lost to Drake by a score of 82-77 on Saturday January 12th.  The Redbirds led most of the first half, but fell by as much as 15 in the second half.  The loss became apparent at about the 1 minute mark with the 'birds still down by a dozen.  A rally in the last minute cut the difference to 5.  The Redbirds moved to almost a 50-50 season overall and a 0-5 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference... a team expected in the pre-season polls to be 2nd in the conference behind the Creighton Bluejays.

Redbird Classic - a real winner!

Illinois State University Redbird Women's Volleyball hosted a 4 team volleyball this past weekend.  Participating visiting teams were #7 ranked Marquette Golden Eagles, #7 ranked University or Illinois Fighting Illini and the Knights from the University of Central Florida.  Events kicked off on Friday evening with the Knights and Golden Eagles followed by ISU v the Illini.  Both those matches went 4 sets with Golden Eagles defeating the Knights and ISU upsetting the Illini! On Saturday UCF took on the Illini in a morning match.  The Illini fell once again moving their record in the tournament to 0-2 and setting UCF's record to 1-1.  The evening matchups included a 5:30 match between UCF and Illinois State and the nightcap was Marquette and the Illini.  Both matches went 5 sets, both thrillers with ISU taking the win over UCF and the Illini besting Marquette. Sunday afternoon, the final match between Marquette and Illinois State was nothing short of epic...

12-13-2024 Normal Community West High School Wildcats Basketball defeated by Richwood Knights

  From my chair, the West v Richwoods varsity boys basketball game looked closer than it ended up. West fell short on a 50-36 game. West has what seems to be an unusually young bunch of ballers with just 3 seniors on the team. Two or three of the starters for this game were sophomores and very hard working young men!
